I was reluctant at first, but the design of the jacket won me over; and I am glad to say that I was not dissapointed. I am a middle age woman who works in an office with many young people who are quite savy. The day I wore the jacket, I counted about five compliments. All in all, I was very happy, so I bought the red one as well, will definitely purchase other items. Thank you.

Whenever I am able, I purchase one of the beautiful jackets from around the world that the Smithsonian offers. I have had some for years, yet they still look beautiful and constantly receive compliments. They are some of the favorite parts of my wardrobe.

This jacket is much softer than I expected. It has a solid weight and is warm and cozy. My office is always cold, but wearing this I feel it a lot less. I have received a lot of compliments about this jacket and I am very happy with my purchase.

This is a beautiful article of clothing, however, as a savvy shopper, I was disappointed that less than 3 weeks after I received it, the price had dropped 30 dollars. Customer service rep told me that they would not credit me on my purchase. I feel as a consumer that the store could offer at least a coupon to offset the policy of no reimbursement of sale items.
